I have an X-Carve 1000mm with the upgrade kit (stiffer rails, larger stepper motors, taller x-axis). For jigs, templates, small parts, even rough shaping an archtop it works great. I haven’t done a neck, so I can’t say how that would work. I would highly recommend a spindle (mine uses a DeWalt router) – quieter for sure, probably less runout, although with precision collets mine works really well.
